"Of course, this will not be exactly like old Empire - for one thing, Xconq maps"
"are composed of hexes and not squares! However, we can reproduce the details"
"of the playing pieces fairly well."
""
"The chief defects are that combat is always mutual, rather than"
"one-side-at-a-time hits, and that cities must have capacity for armies."
"In the latter case, this period fixes an annoying defect of the original"
"empire game! Also, some of the messages are a little weird."
""
"There is also an imbalance in that ships defeating armies don't run"
"aground, so they are more useful than in the original."
